Hold on...without using an emulator and frameskip you are just 1.41 seconds behind the best tool-assisted speedrun in the world? That's...pretty insane. :)
@AlwaysUnited Actually, believe it or not, some people do pay to see speed runs of games they like, not saying somoene paid for this, tho, maybe he just wanted to do it, there's a community of speed runners out there who just do it to be no. 1. :P
I dunno, man. Been too-too long for me, for sure, but I thought the game was a lot more 'sensitive' than shown here. Maybe I just don't remember. Super cool none-the-less. Put a grin on my face to watch this, so thanks for that.
@nofatchxplzthx It's cheating when you break rules set for what it is you are doing. Nearly all speedrun sites allow glitches, it is normally a part of speedrunning in general. Glitches are part of the game, even though it isn't intentional, and it is the game you are speedrunning. It's also impossible to determine everything in the game what is a glitch or not.
I personally think that glitchless runs are more boring to both watch and to make myself. It's also less skillful.
@nofatchxplzthx Thing is, if you want a "glitchless" run, here you go: /watch?v=hP4q-B7yNUM&feature=channel_video_title
This is what most people who hate glitches like. Or maybe you'd call some of the tactics in that run cheating because of hitbox issues even still. When it comes down to it, it takes less skill to do a glitchless run than a glitch one. Why would I limit myself to playing glitchless when I can get a faster and far more interesting/creative run using glitches?
Many reason why this is fake: 1) Mario never gets hit despite touching enemies he should had die, in level 1-2, he hit a piranha plant and still makes the jump. In level 8-3, when he jumps over Bowser's, he hit one of Bowser's hammer and still makes the jump not to mentions there's a ton of Game Genie codes that will make Mario not get hurt by enemies. 2) the game glitch too much. 3) At 2:05, that pipe doesn't lead to the warp zone to world 6, 7, & 8. 4) the no cheating verification is bs.
@blueswan1984 oh come on, it's common knowledge all those glitch are real and legit. For god sake, the game is 25 and there was speedruns of it about more than a decade now using the same tricks. Just take some time and read the Internet, SMB speedruns are the most known worldwide.
@blueswan1984 Learn the game propely as well as reading Andrew's cmoments before making dumb comments that lack knowledge. Just a tip.
There are loads of videos of Andrew playing live, even at a 25 anniversary event in New York in front of Shigeru Miyamoto. There is no cheating involved with this awesome gameplay.
@Tomtelala Awesome or not it's still look bogus, I want to actually see the guy playing it in able to believe it (meaning the guy, his NES, the game, and the actions all had to be seen in the video to be proven), not just gameplay (which could be mistaken for emulator or save-states playthrough). With a dump video like this anyone could assume anything. I know there's hit detection and glitch and all that in the game but it usually doesn't happen all that much.
@blueswan1984 I know that he has made videos on his channel where you can see everything while he is playing: TV, game, console, controller and him.
He has also, as mentioned with the anniversary, made several live performances in front of an audience. In January there was a speedrun charity marathon where he was playing this game, both blindfolded and normal.
Glitches in games more often if you know about them and actually try to do make them in a run, such as this.
I am not a big fan of glitch runs... but what can I say? You are crazy. And I can't even consider beating your glitch-free run ever (my time sits at 5m25s so far). Great work sir!
All walls are made out of 16*16 pixel blocks. If you manage to land just between two such blocks, with enough speed, Mario can get stuck in the wall for one frame. During that frame you are able to jump.
@rafahenara It's achieved through many many hours of practice. The whole video is one playthrough of the game, nothing edited or put together. He is just this good.
@rafahenara I guess I played it a lot and it became like a reflex. The run is only 5 min, just think how many time you can play a day to train yourself. ;)
@andrewg1990 Isn't it possible to finish 8-3 at 244? I'm almost positive I've done this before, but it might have been in an emulator where the timing is off.
I have a question that's intreguing me o__o. Why did you hit the wall on 4:08? It was acidental, or what? Because I totally know, and I've done it several times, passing that final part of 8-3 without any problems and without hitting the wall/slowing down.
Anyways, freaking awesome speed-run, and I recognize that this is in a real system.
Guy used an emulator to cheat you can tell cause of the bad quality. Then he is a cocky bastard no less don't worry someone really soon will break your fake "record"
@ldcanete All walls contain of 16*16 pixel blocks. If you manage to land just between those such blocks, with the right speed, Mario will get stuck in the wall for one frame (1/60 second). During that frame you are able to make a jump.
@lipnox88 Game Genie is a cheating device. A TAS is NEVER EVER using cheats. You only add input to the game but you record it in slow motion while using save states. Check the website TASvideos to learn more about as you currently have the wrong idea =).
this seems to be fake, there is a walljump off a pipe, a secret with the vine ive never seen, and the koopa would have def killed him near the end. awesome run but if nothing else he had some sort of invincible cheat initiated by gamegenie and a few other small tweaks that feel very gamegenie like.
@unorthodoxJ The game is programmed that if Mario is falling, he'll stomp on an enemy no matter where he hits it. I know this is weird, but that's actually how it works.
@unorthodoxJ Read the description. If this is "bullshit" he wouldn't add such seemingly blatant cheating, would he now? This game has retarded hitboxes.
@GiantMoth When hitboxes were made back in the early days, the programmers just made a square in the enemy sprite. This square is usually a lot smaller than the actual sprite. This is an easier and lazy way to make hitboxes, as if you want every pixel of the enemy to be part of the hitbox, you'll have to put more effort into it.
@Tomtelala Thank you, that was quite comprehensive.
One more question, though. Does this mean the hitbox is somewhere around the middle of the stem? Would make my own runthroughs a little easier if I knew.
@GiantMoth Check this youtube video eDaYK1cOCmw to be able to see the hitboxes display in the game. If Mario's hitbox is touching an enemy's hitbox, you'll die.
@bilsta1000 First off, you don't seem to know what a TAS is. They aren't using any cheats or such. Everything done in a TAS works exactly the same as on console.
The reason why he can jump through flowers is the way the hitboxes work in the game. The sprites of enemies are a lot larger than their hitboxes. You should also read the explanations Andrew made in his description.
@Tomtelala The name "tool-assisted" means using tools to modify the game, either by speeding up or slowing down the emulator. You can't use tools on a console.
@LotsaSpaghetti84 Many people think that Tool-Assisted is the same as using a lot of cheats to change the game, the game is the same. The tools used are used to find the limits of the game, how fast it can be beaten when everything is perfect.
Slow motion is used to simulate perfect human reflexes. Save states are to overcome the human errors. In the end you'll have a file with pure input that is added to the game, if this input would be used on console, it would be the same
@Tomtelala But shouldn't playing the game normally improve your timing and reflexes? You can do this stuff without emulators and save states, it's called practice.
I've seen your run during the marathon it was very cool and entertaining !
Btw I have a question for you. Mario seems to hit a bit two blocs, the first is the brick block when you reach the "upper level" at 01:58, and the second when Mario fall down he seems to hit a coin block at 02:00 or 02:01. I know it's practicly invisible but don't you think it slows you a bit?
SMB TAS a approximatively the same time so i think it doesn't change anything...
@iiYoan The score countdown is the time you have left at the end of the stage. And it isn't faster to be slower in order to get a faster score countdown.
@MrBroken030 No. This was done on 8-3 in the last run and was one of the things improved in this run. Grabbing the flagpole at the bottom causes mario to walk slower after getting off the pole. I believe grabbing the top of the flag pole saves about half a second.
@Ztrigg I think what you are trying to point out is that the video skips. However, it actually does not skip at all. When Bowser changes directions it simply creates the illusion of the video skipping. Watch again and focus on Mario and the hammers.
@Ztrigg If you are trying to point out that he got hit by the hammers I think you are wrong again. It's VERY close and I even questioned it myself. So I downloaded the video and went through it frame by frame and he missed them.
I don't think you haters out there know just how legit Andrew is. He has made this attempt in front of the Legendary Miyamoto before at Nintendo World. He has played this game in front of the Twin Galaxies refs. He also plays Donkey Kong & is godlike at it already, nearing Hank Chien, Billy Mitchell, Steve Webie etc & those of Legends of the Arcade. That's just my first point, the second one is, just copy what you see here & you'll find you can do EVERYTHING too! The game play & he is legit!
@EmpireArcadia This commenter, TriForce Johnson, has a world record on this Super Mario Bros., being the most points on the Playchoice-10 version. I saw him do that, and if someone of that playing ability says that this run is legit, it is.
@ponchdaddy13 ... I watched him do this speed run live in front of thousands. He actually raised something like $300 in 10 minutes for charity by attempting the run blindfolded too. Fake? Nope. Everything he does in this run is for a purpose right down to the amount of coins he collects if I remember right.
@EmpireArcadia I don't blame yeah, it's like using cheat codes in a sense that it takes the original idea of fun out of it. I tried it once with the first Sonic. I only did the first act though. It took 30-31 sec and I got the achiev for it on xbl but that was about it.
@Davy2612 Glitch = Not intended to be in the game, cheat = Against the rules, neither of these here.
No one said all levels, and it IS a speed run, maybe if he had said Speed run of all the levels then yeah, he'd be cheating, but he didn't, there may be a different record for that, tho.
@Davy2612 Incorrect, the goal of the speedrun of a game is to finish the game as fast as possible, if one can skip levels, they will, unless specified by the runner, or the one the speed run is being made for.
There are different kinds of speed runs too, so there's no real "set" rules on speed runs other than the obvious not using hacks, and such that require outside help to finish them.
But other than that, this speed run is entirely legit as far as regular speed runs go.
totally fake: Humans cant jump that high. Mario jumps like 7x his own height, that would prolly break legs! Also, the bushes look just like the clouds, and Ive never successfully traveled through pipes. totally fake!!!
@dark0ssx No, that was intentional. Doing so made him move a little bit forward on the screen, and, in doing so, he tricked the game into making that pipe send him somewhere else, in this case, the warp zone.
@gtafan110010 If you actually know the game inside out, it becomes fun. It's just like any game, master it and it becomes fun. More when you're at a competitive scene, in this case, speed runs.
This comment is to all the actual people commenting on the legitimacy of Andrew's skill. I try not to get into people's business "when" I can but...in all fairness, I use to be a doubter just like you guys but I know Andrew personally on a competitive level...he is legit. He's not some random guy trying to make a name for himself. In the classic gaming scene he is well known and well respected by some of the pioneers and legends that started competitive gaming. He's the real deal.
As for the hammers at the end, I must say I've never done that before, but all the piranha plant and 'double jump', I can say is real. I mean, the best I've done is 5'09, but I'm convinced this is pretty much legit.
I had this in my TAS playlist and didn't notice until now it was mis-sorted.

I've seen your run during the marathon it was very cool and entertaining !
Btw I have a question for you. Mario seems to hit a bit two blocs, the first is the brick block when you reach the "upper level" at 01:58, and the second when Mario fall down he seems to hit a coin block at 02:00 or 02:01. I know it's practicly invisible but don't you think it slows you a bit?
SMB TAS a approximatively the same time so i think it doesn't change anything...
Very good run btw, congrats !

Isnt getting less coins going to improve your time? (the score countdown at the end of levels)
iiYoan 2 months ago
@iiYoan The score countdown is the time you have left at the end of the stage. And it isn't faster to be slower in order to get a faster score countdown.

@MrBroken030 No. This was done on 8-3 in the last run and was one of the things improved in this run. Grabbing the flagpole at the bottom causes mario to walk slower after getting off the pole. I believe grabbing the top of the flag pole saves about half a second.

@Ztrigg I think what you are trying to point out is that the video skips. However, it actually does not skip at all. When Bowser changes directions it simply creates the illusion of the video skipping. Watch again and focus on Mario and the hammers.
resident0evil0 2 months ago
@resident0evil0 That's a good point, although pointing out a video skip was not my intention.
Ztrigg 2 months ago
@Ztrigg If you are trying to point out that he got hit by the hammers I think you are wrong again. It's VERY close and I even questioned it myself. So I downloaded the video and went through it frame by frame and he missed them.

I don't think you haters out there know just how legit Andrew is. He has made this attempt in front of the Legendary Miyamoto before at Nintendo World. He has played this game in front of the Twin Galaxies refs. He also plays Donkey Kong & is godlike at it already, nearing Hank Chien, Billy Mitchell, Steve Webie etc & those of Legends of the Arcade. That's just my first point, the second one is, just copy what you see here & you'll find you can do EVERYTHING too! The game play & he is legit!

@EmpireArcadia This commenter, TriForce Johnson, has a world record on this Super Mario Bros., being the most points on the Playchoice-10 version. I saw him do that, and if someone of that playing ability says that this run is legit, it is.

@ponchdaddy13 But there is one to world 4, which he used.
Tomtelala 2 months ago
@ponchdaddy13 ... I watched him do this speed run live in front of thousands. He actually raised something like $300 in 10 minutes for charity by attempting the run blindfolded too. Fake? Nope. Everything he does in this run is for a purpose right down to the amount of coins he collects if I remember right.

@EmpireArcadia I know your a point presser with this game, but have you ever tried to go for speed yourself?
Ztrigg 2 months ago
@Ztrigg Nah, I don't like time trails or speed runs to be honest with you. Even if I tried...I'm not competing with Andrew. I'll get bodied for sure.
EmpireArcadia 2 months ago
@EmpireArcadia I don't blame yeah, it's like using cheat codes in a sense that it takes the original idea of fun out of it. I tried it once with the first Sonic. I only did the first act though. It took 30-31 sec and I got the achiev for it on xbl but that was about it.

@Davy2612 Glitch = Not intended to be in the game, cheat = Against the rules, neither of these here.
No one said all levels, and it IS a speed run, maybe if he had said Speed run of all the levels then yeah, he'd be cheating, but he didn't, there may be a different record for that, tho.
silverleon777 2 months ago
@silverleon777 as in speed run, one usually assumes it will be all levels.
Davy2612 2 months ago
@Davy2612 Incorrect, the goal of the speedrun of a game is to finish the game as fast as possible, if one can skip levels, they will, unless specified by the runner, or the one the speed run is being made for.
There are different kinds of speed runs too, so there's no real "set" rules on speed runs other than the obvious not using hacks, and such that require outside help to finish them.
But other than that, this speed run is entirely legit as far as regular speed runs go.
silverleon777 2 months ago
totally fake: Humans cant jump that high. Mario jumps like 7x his own height, that would prolly break legs! Also, the bushes look just like the clouds, and Ive never successfully traveled through pipes. totally fake!!!

Does running into the side of that block at 2.00 count as something that could be improved on?
dark0ssx 2 months ago
@dark0ssx No, that was intentional. Doing so made him move a little bit forward on the screen, and, in doing so, he tricked the game into making that pipe send him somewhere else, in this case, the warp zone.

This comment is to all the actual people commenting on the legitimacy of Andrew's skill. I try not to get into people's business "when" I can but...in all fairness, I use to be a doubter just like you guys but I know Andrew personally on a competitive level...he is legit. He's not some random guy trying to make a name for himself. In the classic gaming scene he is well known and well respected by some of the pioneers and legends that started competitive gaming. He's the real deal.

As for the hammers at the end, I must say I've never done that before, but all the piranha plant and 'double jump', I can say is real. I mean, the best I've done is 5'09, but I'm convinced this is pretty much legit.
